Amazing Sex After 60: Maintaining An Active and Exhilarating Senior Sex Life

This how-to book offers a lot of good medical and health information that older men and women may not have thought about for a while, such as how to use condoms and why sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise in the 60-plus age group. There is a lot of helpful information on sexual technique as well.

Sometimes one person's story of reclaiming love and sexual desire is more inspiring than all the how-to books in the world!
